Apart from genetic susceptibility to early drusen formation, i still have not found ANYTHING super-interesting in my genome

Sometimes it's easier to respect people with an abundance of free time b/c they surprise more. Even if at very long intervals...

if AI is gonna do superpersuasion soon, some of it will be through persuading the masses to do TMS/tFUS

So much of my life is driven by my twitter feed...

Sometimes I have to be comfortable enough gossiping with AI **and just AI** rather than with other people and it's OK

I think LLMs are sophisticated enough now to tell you if you metabolize PUFAs well enough given your genotype
November 27, 2025 at 11:58 PM
The LLMs still don't understand/guess why GenZ now connects via Instagram/Signal/LinkedIn...

will never forget that a UWash Physics grad student TA often TA'd people while barechested and barefoot

If TMS reduces negative emotions and anxiety, it also can reduce resistance to further spending sprees (like further TMS sessions]

im paying for gemini/google storage, grok, chatgpt, and claude. something has got to go among them

I'm surprised how many ppl remember me from 2024 biomarkers of aging conference, I didn't even try to be noticeable there (like I was at many previous events)

If harvard has a psychedelics student org, why can't it have a TMS/tFUS/neuromodulation student org now..

I had my first day of accelerated TMS yesterday! It disrupted my sleep the next night. Will see how it goes the following few days

Visited Utah Tech last night. Its ecology & geoscience research is salient. Its bookshelves had lots of "the american west" in it

Everything you went through in life, you go through again post-o3/Reasoning-based-LLMs to re-initialize how you approach them

being chaotic is a way to never lose face

even trump is kind of like this.

interesting
"in my personal lexicon, this is the "asshole effect". assholes tend to be surrounded by a bimodal distribution of people: other assholes (for the obvious reasons) and the nicest people you've ever met (who are trusting to a fault)"

sometimes, trump's capacity for surprise is inspiring...

Well, EU5 makes "hill tribes" (eg the tujia and other subjects of The Art of Not Being Governed) way more visible than before.

I just drank 5 sparkling waters on jetblue so I wouldn't be hungry enough to snack on its unhealthy food [or even tomato juice]. And feel the time spent on plane was way higher quality than normal time

if you're "wealth of weak ties", people can appreciate you even if they don't want to become you
